Chapter 197 Who is Li Fu? Farewell Ling Buyi
Until it was getting dark, He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan, both dressed like girls, hurried all the way to the corner gate. When they were stopped for inspection, the man just glanced at them up and down and did not even have any suspicion.
"What are you two going to do?"
He Zhaojun quickly stuffed the silver into his hand and said, "My daughter is trapped in this courtyard every day. Today is the night of the full moon. It is inevitable that she misses home. I only ask us to find some food commonly found in the capital to express my longing for her."
The guard at the door looked them up and down. They looked good, but they were too thin. They were so thin that they would be blown away by the wind. They didn't think they could cause any trouble, so he nodded and signaled them to go and come back quickly.
Wen Ziduan dressed up as a girl, and his behavior, expression and movements were exactly the same as those of a real girl. He was able to deceive He Zhaojun then, and he could also deceive the guards at the door now.
After turning the corner and dodging the patrolling soldiers, Wen Ziduan whistled and a horse galloped over. The two of them rode together and headed towards the south city gate.
The north gate was previously buried in mud and sand, but now a deep pit has been dug out. Rope ladders are needed for entry and exit. The army definitely cannot enter or exit, so if they want to attack the city, it is more likely to be the south gate.
"Have you seen Li Fu?" He Zhaojun felt a slight itch on the wound on her arm, and then she remembered Li Fu.
Wen Ziduan hummed and said, "I haven't asked you yet, who made the teeth marks on your arm?" Although the bite was not severe and was about to fade away, it made Wen Ziduan feel uneasy.
Did the emperor really send a young man to protect Zhaojun personally?
"Who is Li Fu?" Wen Ziduan asked again.
He Zhaojun was stunned: "Li Fu, Li Zhengjun, wasn't he sent by His Majesty? He is not an ordinary man, and he has helped me a lot. I always thought he was a secret guard of the court..."
Wen Ziduan pulled the reins and the two men dismounted. They tore off the girls' clothes, killed the two patrolling soldiers, and quickly changed into their clothes.
"How could it be?! The person sent by the emperor is called Ma Qian, and he is a minister of the imperial court!"
The two looked at each other and felt something was wrong. Li Fu not only knew that the person sent by Emperor Wen was a traitor, but also tried to replace him. He even used his words and deeds to mislead He Zhaojun. He never introduced himself, but He Zhaojun believed him without a doubt.
I just don't know who this person is or what his purpose is.
"There is no time to think so much. Let's go to the city gate quickly. General Ling will explore Shouchun City tonight." He Zhaojun pulled Wen Ziduan and took advantage of the dark and windy night to mingle among the soldiers stationed on the city wall.
The two men walked up to the city gate with an arrogant and carefree look. They patted the guard's chest and said, "Go, General Peng said that the important task of interrogation tonight will be handed over to us two. You go to the back."
The man didn't suspect anything, thinking they were some unknown dignitaries. He quickly exchanged a few pleasantries and retreated to the city wall to stand guard. He Zhaojun raised an eyebrow at Wen Ziduan. "When the food carts come in later, don't let them stab you. General Ling is probably hiding inside."
Wen Ziduan nodded, but before he could reply, General Liang arrived with his troops, bringing in several carts of food and fodder. Wen Ziduan, inwardly calling He Zhaojun a deity, had to feign seriousness.
"Who is coming?"
"It's me, under the order of General Peng, escorting the grain and grass into the city." As he said this, General Liang handed over the token and looked at the grain and grass cart nervously.
Two soldiers approached, raised their swords, and were about to stab. He Zhaojun quickly stopped them, saying in a gruff voice, "There's rice in the bag. If you pierce it, won't all the grain leak out along the way?"
General Liang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly agreed.
